The G. A. Il. Processes to have
saved the republic and its very ex-
istcnce to day is predicated Of that
fact, and now we find 1t twenty two
years after it accomplished that re
suit degenerated into the most
dangerous enemy of the republic
1t has deliberately set itself by
threats and anathemas, to overawe
and browbeat the president of the
republic aud force him to yield to
It's desires to have the revenues oil
the government turned over to it,
in face of his oath and manifest
duty. 1t is reasonable assault
upon the stability and integrity OF
the republic, an attempt to subject
right to force, to GUST the president
Of his prerogative, to change the
character and purposes of the gov
ernment and subordinate it to the
spoils idea. The G.. A. Il. has made
an infamous and reasonable as
sault upon the republic, the more
dangerous because it comes from
protested friends and appeals to
mems greed and avarice, for which
it will be held severely to account

It having recently been discover
ed that the convicts in the Missis
sippi penitentiary are subjected t6
severe punishment,t the overs queam
ish howlers are given another oc-
casiOn to scream out against the
lease system and its said to be in
human atrocities. We have little
patience with this affected senti-
mentality. In our opinion, the
convicts in the penitentlary ought
TO be continually and severely pun
ished and subjected to hardships
and deprivations, so that the place
may be worthy to be Stunned. We
want no haven of rest for our
murderers and criminals. When a
man goes there once let him barely
live to tell of its horrid realities
and thus warn others to avoid it.
That is what the place is forth at
is what the men who are sent there
are supposed to deserve. The
judgment of the court should state
the degree OF punishment TO be in
fiicted where the oaense is not
heinOus.

Republican Thievery,

Recently Littleton's Review, t.
sustain its charge that democracy
was imbecility and Incompetence
personified, asserted that it was not
only incapacited to conduct the af-
fairs of government, but that its
greatest difficulty was experienced
IN managing and directing the ac-
cumulating surplus that floods the
treasury as consequence of re-
publican finaEciering-that the
republicans left them such immeas
urable resources that they are NOT
able to contain them and use them
wisely. Of course this is all bIa-
tant drivei, bGt The CITIZEN an
swered it in a paragraph which
showed that the republicans had in
augurated system Of taxation
that wrenched millions and millions
from the people more than was
needed, but that no surplus accu-
mulated because the republicans
stole it in one way or another, mis-
appropriated and grabbed it as fast
as it was collected. The democrats
coming in found this flching taxa,
tionl machinery under full head
way, and whereas before there had
never been any fuss made over
what shall we do with the sur
plus?' they had not been in six
months before the treasury was
loaded down. They did not steal
it out as fast as it went in, and the
very means that failed to create
surplus under republican admins
traticn began to pan out millions.
The democrats have not yet been
able 20 agree as to the best means
to reduce the tariff and they are too
honest to steal the surplus. Little
ton felt the force and truthfulness G
this statement and last week he
squirmed through whole column
trying to answer it and fails, bis
main and most brilliant and logical
argument being that this editor is
liar. OF course he means that in
a Pickwickian sense but that does
not make it less indecent. If we
should deny him that resort he
would be out of material to carry
on his clustering, brawling, bull
raging, bunko steering campaign as
the red-handed chief of the blood
wumps. He has convicted his own
party by the logic of his own argu-
ment as we nave clearly shown and
no amount of kicking now will dis
prove it. The fact stands out like a
burning balloon in midnight sky
that the reason there was no surplus
then and is one now, the same re
sources existing, is that the repub-
licans squandered and stole it and
the democrats do not Squander and
| steal il.

The Tendency Of Democracy Towards So.
cialIqn

Perhaps the laws most advanced
in the direction OF socialism are the
labor laws. Those which fix the age
of children to be employed in facto
ries may. indeed, be considered as
pertaining to sanitary legislation, al
ways held orthodox and allowable,
however soclalistic IN nature; not 80
the eight and ten ,hoar laws which
are now so frequent. 1t is a no
more radical step, after saying that
a man shall not work, to say in
what way or ways he shall play;
and surely quite as salutary a one.
But the lava which enforce upon
tha operative his sixteen hours Of
leisure have not yet yentured to say
that he shall spend four hours OF
that leisure in picture gallery and
the rest in the Young Mems Chris
tian Association. They have only
sought to close the corner grocery.
And, although no law has yet been
passed, saying how much the en-
ployer shall pay, two or three states
have ventured TO say that he shall
pay it once week.
To close this last field of Obser-
walton, We may say that state so
cialism-the allowable scope of
state interference with the acts and
possessions of the citizens-has
been greatly extended; and chat
measure of universal socialism, al
though in no case yet enacted, APP
pear to be on the verge of trial.
We will therefore conclude with the
perhaps unforeseen result, that
democracy when crowned with pow
er seeks rather what it considers
the well-being of the community
than the liberty of the individual.

English and Irish farmers are ag-
itated over the discovery that cream
can be kept pure in air-tight cans
for n considerable length of time.
Here, by the way, is an opportuni-
ty for our western dairymen to at
least test a trade which promises
large possibilities. If cream can
only be preserved in this manner il
will prove not only source of prof
it to our farmers, but boon of nc
small magnitude to our urban pop
ulation, that is, if the product is
only kept free of authorizations
which are proving the bane of Sc

Bradstreet has compiled very eX
haustive tables On the number Of
workmen at present engaged in the
various industries of the country
the wages paid them, and other
interesting data, and the general re
suits shown are very satisfactory
1t appears from them that at least
100000 more workmen are engaged
than at this time two years ago, anG
that the wages, which had sunk
very low in the two years prior te
1885, are at present at about the
same figures they were during the
bright bus mess year of 1881 'S2.

A gentleman and his wife in the
Sth attended a prohibition gather
ing with their little II year-old son.
When the vote was taken everybody
in the audience stood up except
these. The boy said nothing, but a
few days afterward while working
with his father 10 the potato patch
he seemed very thoughtful, and all
at once he stopped and gazed be-
seechingly in his fathers face and
said:
"Pa, want you to vote for pro-
hibition."
The appeal went like an arrow to
the fathers heart and he is now for
the amendment. The incident
teaches tender, forceful lesson. Il

of them will be ruined and damned
by liquor if the cause fails. Whose

May, 1886, is five Ier cent. to-day.
The gold balances in the treasury,
too, are much greater now than
they we're last year at this time, and
the amount boarded is piling up
steadily in the government vaults.
But all these things do not necessa-
rily portend that business disaster
will soon come. In the past ten
months there has been over $70,-
100000 added to the amount of
money in active circulation among
the people of the country, and with
the growing use Of money econo
MIXING devices the amount of work
which q dollar performs is being
steadily increased. The holdings
of the New York banks are lower at
present than they were last year at
this time, because money is IN
much more active demand in pro-
litable enterprises now than it was
| then. One of the elements of dan
ger in most periods of Industrial
prosperity is comparatively absent
just now. That is excessive specu-
ation in stocks or food products.
The fact that money is in greater
demand in legitimate business than
it was a year ago indicates that it
must pass more rapidly from hand
to hand than 1t did at that time.

1t has pleased Mr.. John Sherman
for purposes of his own to divide the
people of the United States into two
parties-republicans and confeder-
ates. Among the latter arc the north
ern democrats, who are declared by
| Mr.. Sherman to be dominated by
what he calls ''the confederate
idea" The democratic party, he
says, in so many words, is "the left
wing Of the new confederate army"
There is no difficulty, of course, il
understanding why Mr.. Sherman
dwells on the name confederate ;
He is politician first and an Amer
lean last; partisan by nature, and
a patriot by profession. His politi
cal fortunes depend largely on keep
ing alive the sectional prejudices
which he fears swill speedily die out
if not famed into flame. "Confed-
crate" he thinks, is a good name tc
conjure with. The times change
but he is unchanged. They who
were once federais and confederates
are now acknowledgements in
citizenship, equals in love of coun-
try. The past is merged in the
present; the present is bright will
ahe hopes and promises of the fu-
ture. Only few sore-eyed mourn
ers recall what every one else is try
ing to forget or has forgotten. Mr.
Sherman is one of these mourners
